Kick if you think this tiny election signifies absolutely nothing in the long run.

[Bicoastal]

All this media hype about a few isolated races is like claiming a majority of Americans think Obama is Kenyan-born because two out of the other five guys in the bar said so.

1. Well, I am enjoying the fact that that stupid sack of crazy Doug Hoffman

lost his race.

But otherwise this is crap.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. In terms of a referendum on Obama or the Dems, yeah no big thing really. But the referenda on

equal civil rights for gays are a big deal.

3. In the long run, we're all dead.

[Bicoastal]

6. In the short run, a billion blood cells in your body just died.

[Justitia]

9. ick - like right now? Should I wash my hands???? -eom

[Bicoastal]

10. Wouldn't do any good--there are dead skin cells on every surface of your house.

That's what all that "dust" is.

[Justitia]

14. If that is true, you could stitch together a new person off my coffeetable right now.

Thanks for the huge gross out!

4. Wait. He's from Kenya!?

I must have missed that.

[imdjh]

5. The Republicans (Michael Medved in particular) were really hoping Hoffman would prove the McCain ...

... theory, ie that McCain lost because he wasn't "conservative enough".

So actually, I'm thrilled.

[Contrary1]

7. It doesn't usually mean anything...so, why should it now?

Damn that Librul media!!!

[jonnyblitz]

8. repealing civil rights DOES signify something though it's

something NOT good. I resent you being so dismissive as if it were no big deal.

[emulatorloo]

12. OP explicitly refers to "races" not ballot initiatives n/t

[donheld]

11. Actually the win by Owens in NY may signify something

:bounce: not what right wingers wanted.

[gratuitous]

13. What?

No, this is the most important election in the history of mankind, and the results in some secret races, pre-selected by media pooh-bahs, will determine the course of Western History forever! Or not.
